1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Static formations of swarms of rotorcraft drones, used for example in disaster management, are subject to intrusions, and must bear the cost of holding the formation while avoiding collisions which leads to their increased energy consumption. While the behaviour of the intruder is unpredictable, the formation can have its parameters set to try to balance the cost of avoidance with its functionality. The novel model presented in this paper assists in the selection of parameter values. It is based on multivariate linear regression, and provides an estimate of the average disturbance caused by an intruder as a function of the values of the parameters of a formation. Cross-entropy is used as a metric for the disturbance, and the data based are generated through simulations. The model explains up to 54.4% of the variability in the value of the cross-entropy, providing results that are twice as good as the baseline estimator of the mean cross-entropy.
